CLASS LEGISLATION.
Thoro litis boon much talk of
class lcgislntion o Into, nnd many
of tho bills before tho present leg
islature aro olaimod to bo objec
tiouablo if not unconstitutional on
that score. However, thoro is a
great tlifforouco of opinion, hero
and olsowhero, as to what really
constitutes class legislation.
Tho Supremo Court of Califor
nia in deciding a fow weeks ago
that tho Barbor's Sunday-closing
Act was unconstitutional,discusscd
class legislation at length in its
opinion in which tho law was very
ieverely ciiticlsed, and it should
be noted that tho nine Justices
composing tho Court were of tho
same mind. Tho objections to tho
constitutionality of tho Act woro
juito numorouB. It was first
urged that tho Act violated tho
very first section of tho Constitu
tion in that it took from tho citi
zen his inalionablo rights to earn
monoy by honest labor. A sec
ond objection was that tho Act
violated tho same Section in that
it granted special privileges
and immunities to all classes
of citizens except harbors. Thoro
was a further objectiou that tho
act was special legislation.
. On all points tho Supremo Court
found against tho law.Tho court did
not agree in tho contention that
the pnBsngo of tho law was within
the polico power of tho Legisla
ture. Such could not bo tho law,
said tho opinion, because tho act
took f rom a olaBS of oittzons a con
ititutioual right. A law restrict
ing tho hours of labor of barbers
urns doclarod to bo no loss unrea
sonable than would bo a statute
forbidding citizons to oat bread
before it was at least twenty-four
Lours old.
, Discussing other points involv
ed tho court said:
"It is not oasy to see whoro and
how this Inw protects labor from
tho unjust exactions of capital.
A. man's constitutional liberty
means moro than his personal
freedom. It moans, with many
other rights, his right freely to
labor and to own tho fruits of his
toil. It is u curious law for tho
protection of Inbor which puuishos
the laborer for working. Yot that
is precisely what this law does.
Tho laboring barber engaged in a
most resj)octuble,usoful and clean
ly pursuit, is singled out from tho
thousands of liiB follows in other
employments nnd told that, willy
nilly, ho sliall not work up
on holidays and Suudays aftor J2
o'clock noon. His wishes, tastes
or necessities nro not consulted.
If ho labors, ho is a criminal.
Such protection to labor carried n
littlo further, would sond him
from tho jail to tho poorhouso.
"How comoa it thnt tho legisla
tive oyowns so koonto dincorn tho
noedBof tho opproBsod harbor and
yet wns blind to his toiling
brethren in othor vocations?
Steam car and street car opera
tives toil through long and weary
Sunday hours; so do mill nnd
factory hands. Thoro is no Sun
day period of rest nnd no protec
tion for tho ovor-worked employes
of tho doily papers. Do those not
neod rest and protoction? Tho
bare suggestion of thesp consider
ations shows tho iujustico nnd in
equality of this law.
"In brief whothor or not a gen
oral law lo promote rest from la
bor in all business vocations may
bo uphold as within tho duo exor
cise of tho polico power, a law
such as this cannot. A law is
not nlways general because it op
orates upon nil within n class.
Thoro must bo back of that a sub
stantial ronson why it is mado to
operate only ou a class and not
generally upon all. unt in
a law such as this no reason has
or can bo shown why tho follow
ers of ono useful and unobjection
able employment should bo de
barred from tho right to labor on
cortnin days and no others.
When any ono such class is
singled out nnd put under tho
criminal bau of a law such as
this tho law not only is spociul,
unjiiBt nnd unreasonable in its
operation, but marks an invasion
of individual liborty, tho liberty
of free labor, which it protonds
to protect."
Tho effect of tho decision, is to
declaro that barber shops can
keep open in California on Sun
days and holidays just as long as
on any other day. Early closing
can only bo brought about by a
general law affecting all classes of
business alike.
DUTY ON WINES.
Minister Damon's argument in
tho Senate today that a steady in
crease iu tho consumption of
puro and hoalthy wines liko
those of California means a con
sequent decrease iu the amount of
spirits consumed is a good one,
especially when ho is able to
back it up with such figures as
are shown in tho following tablo
which gives tho number of gal
lons of wines and spirits that
linvo passed through tho Hono
lulu Custom Houso in tho past
ton years:

1895-12.951 140.053 97.099
Tho foregoing tnblo shows that
in 1880, 80,000 gallons of spirits
woro imported and only 47,001 of
wino, or an excess of 33,000 gal
lons of spirits. Sinco that year
tho oxcoss has been in tho impor
tations of wino, which havo grad
ually taken tho place of tho strong
er spirits, tho consumption of
which in ton years hns
been reduced about ono half.
Agaiust tho loss of 40,000 gallons
of spirits last year wo had a gain of
97,000 gallons of wino, but as tho
wino is only about opo-fourth tho
strength of the spirits thoro is n
olonr -gain for tho cause of tem
perance in tho non-consumption
of at least 20.0Q0 gallons of
spirits, nnd this in spito of n vnst
increase of wino-drinking popula
tiou, such as tho Portuguese and
JitpanoBO.

A FEW WORDS ON BICY
CLES AND CUTLERY.
In a Coast newspaper de
voted to the bicycle business
we read that dealers in bicy-
' cles are authority for the state-
ment that the business aspect
of the bicycle trade has mate
rially changed during the past
;year. instead or tne main
. business consisting in dealing
I with men's wheels, quite the
i contrary is true. Dealers are
j now doing their utmost to
I i ..., t 41., ... n( il.n .... ,.,-..
iuiiaii uic cyca ui uic wunicn.
All of which shows that the
ladies are taking very kindly
to bicycle riding all over the
world. And it is the same
here, the demand for ladies'
wheels is continually increas
ing. We have received five
of the TRIBUNE LADIES'
WHEELS on this steamer and
have more on the way. These
wheels are of this year's make,
direct from the factory, no back
numbers, and have all the latest
improvements.
We have also a number of

tirely new machine, named
after the great rider, Zimmer
mann, and we shall be pleased
to explain its merits to in
tending purchasers.
Butve started in to say a
few words on CUTLERY, of;
which we received an im-
mense assortment on the Aus
tralia, which is now unpacked
and on exhibition. In table
cutlery we have an immense
variety in new and elegant
patterns and all sizes. In pock
et cutlery we have a number
of new designs. Knives to
cut lead pencils and knives to
trim your finger nails with, and
knives to cut down your ex
penses with. We have prun
ing knives which are just the
thing for the members of the
Legislature to use in cutting
down the appropriation bills,
and some suitable for the Ad
vertiser man to do his "cheese
paring" with. In fact we
have all kinds of knives, large
and small, light or heavy, but
all of them of the best quality
and manufacture.
We have carving knives
with ivory, buckhorn or bone
handles, butcher knives, skin
ning knives, knives with cork
screws in them for camping
out or staying at home. In
fact we have all sorts of knives
suitable for all sorts and con
ditions of people.

Tho report of three physi
cians connected with tho Board
of Health on tho condition of
tho water which the peoplo of
Honolulu drink is valuable, if
for no other reason, that it
gives one timo to select tho
right company to insure one's
life with, and to make neces
sary arrangements for cemetery
lot and undertaker.
If tho citizen who prefers
life to uncertainties, tho incon
venience and bother of treat
ing Bright's disease or fever
may be eosil avoided by an
investment in tho proper sort i
of filter. Wo have ono mado
of natural stone, tho water be-
ing filtered through a cylin
drical disc. This disc is easily
removed for cleansing and may
bo mado perfectly clean by a
moment's brush tig.
Tho filter has not been
named yet, b,ut another, iden
tical iu shape and manufacture
is called the Success. Ours is
just as good without a name
and costs a dollar less. You
see, the name amounts to
something. Wo havo also a

some of which havo water
tanks and taps, in which filter
